Notes
- Yield is ¾ cup. I use about 1 tbsp per pound of meat.
- Combine 1 tbsp of fajita seasoning with 3 tbsp of canola oil, 1 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tbsp of fresh lime juice and marinate shrimp, chicken, or steak.
- Pinch a touch of seasoning between your fingers. If it gives off a strong aroma you blend is good to use.
- Make sure your spices are fresh so you get the best flavor.
- Keep seasoning in an airtight container or jar, in a moisture-free environment, up to 4 months.
